#Parking in #Regina, part 3...

I submitted a "service request" about paying for #parking meters downtown, because they're going "app-only", and I have no mobile phone.

I got a #contemptuous email telling me I'd said I was "not comfortable with technology". Fuck you, I'm a software engineer of nearly 3 decades. I responded to say a) I didn't say I wasn't comfortable with tech, and b) it was insulting.

So I got a second reply today, including this fantastic line:

> We apologize for the stress caused to you due to the transition of paying
> for the parking #meters.

Somebody at City Hall is feeling awfully passive-aggressive.

Then, today, I got a phone call. This person tried to convince me that this isn't a problem for me, and tried to offer "solutions" which I had already explained were not applicable in my original request:

1. Park off-street in a private lot. No: it's more expensive, I have no income, and the nearest ones are multiple blocks away from where I need to go. Not practical for someone with #mobility issues, and there are lots of us out here.

2. Buy a special "park for free at meters" pass. Cost: $1040 plus taxes. This is a giant "up yours" suggestion.

3. JK, there are no other solutions.

So I said, "Is it the city's official position that I'm #screwed and can't park downtown to receive medical treatments?" and she said yes.

I'm fucking tired of #bureaucrats making decisions without caring how it affects #residents.
